dave, you’re right about netscape…

March 7th, 2007

dave is rightmy netscape was the first major service to include RSS (back in ‘99). they did it to compete with my yahoo. netscape wanted to provide a differentiated experience, and didn’t want to play content BD catchup. but, at the time, folks weren’t used to the whole linking out experience and there wasn’t much content available in RSS. since then, blogging, search, and broadband happened…and, every major media company adopted rss in one form or another…thanks to dave and others for pushing this early on..

anyways, congrats to netscape…it’s nice to witness the product’s rebirth

ps - here’s the obligatory link to the netscape fish cam and a picture i took when i visited AOL back in may. and yes…this wonderful/quirky part of internet history is still there…
